Real Age vs. Dating Age as a Lesbian
By Guest Writer, WWG I like being single. I’m proud to say I enjoy my own company, and I’m comfortable and confident enough in my skin that I’ve never needed a relationship to make me happy. On the contrary, my relationships often made me feel quite unhappy. A large part of that is of course [...]

Becoming The Woman My Mother Warned Me About
Recently, Remi and I were just chillin’ at the house. Neither one of us had anything to talk about. I hadn’t been anywhere in weeks. Her schedule consisted of work, home, work, home, repeat. She sat there and said, “Well?” “Well what?” I replied. A little miffed that the responsibility of conversation topics seemed to [...]
Lesbian Bipolar Quiz
OK, so I lied. The quiz isn’t specifically for lesbians. But a lesbian wrote to me asking about this and most likely lesbians will read this. I don’t think there is actually a quiz specifically for lesbians with bipolar disorder, but we can pretend for the hell of it. Because really, wouldn’t it be nice [...]
